I liked the name, even more than "XPath". Thanks again to Uche for the clarification (I already thanked him privately) -- I either never knew or have completely forgotten the term "XPattern" for an XSLT pattern, but I wasn't much involved with the XSL people in the late 1990s. Perhaps the term 'XPattern' would be safe to reuse for a SAX/STAX-friendly XPath subset, then? That's what I had originally (and mistakenly) thought Uche was writing about. > The State of Python-XML in 2004 - http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2004/10/13/py-xml.html Is that a red state or a blue state? All the best, David -- http://www.megginson.com/
